The old Toad (that F100 I hauled brush with) is a quasi-permanent artifact here on the farm...been parked under a tree for about 4 years now.
The F250 was Dad's. Mine now.
It's a 2002 model but only has about 98k mikes on it. Runs great...chipped and all, it is one bull hauling SOB. Light, it will get about 18mpg if you keep it under 70. Load it up and watch the gauge drop.
I was taking steers to La Grange for processing on a horribly windy day last March. Busting a +25mph headwind with the cattle trailer. Couldn't figure why I was using so much fuel...check the speedo and was running 78mph!!!!
Glass smooth, no strain, +24psi of boost into that headwind...it just does what you ask...for a price.
